For younger guests, maybe some meatballs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-food#post-467796 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:59:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 467796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleGBee: omg that's adorable!!! I love it!!</p> <p>May I have your quinoa salad recipe? Sounds delish!<br /> Also your sugar-free smash cake - do you have a picture? Sounds amazing!</p> <p>Oooh... good point about the skewers haha! I was planning on using some for kebobs - I don't think there will be too many little children though.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-food#post-457742 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 02:30:16 +0000 LittleGBee 457742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a totally GF (and mostly paleo) spread for our daughter's first birthday. No one really even noticed the lack of gluten and there were no left-overs to prove it.<br /> Here's our menu:<br /> - bacon wrapped dates<br /> -chicken satay skewers<br /> - moroccan meatballs<br /> - fruit skewers<br /> - quinoa salad with spinach and avocado<br /> - caprese skewers<br /> - veggie platter<br /> - chocolate dipped marshmallows<br /> - GF, sugar free smash cake and cupcakes (used Cup4Cup from William and Sonoma) </p> <p>One thing I will say is that I didn't exactly think through the skewers and the littles. Parents just needed to watch the kiddos a bit more closely, but there were no injuries! :) </p> [attach=2945/12/mfbjii.600x400.IMG_4049.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-food#post-457687 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 00:41:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 457687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: it'll be Cobi's first birthday!!<br /> Those fruit mosaics are so cute! I love it. Great ideas- the sliders look delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-food#post-457683 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 00:36:28 +0000 SweetMamaM 457683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those veggie cups are super cute! For our Christmas party this weekend I am making homemade peanut butter cups, bacon wrapped prunes, salmon dip, shortbread sandwiches with raspberry curd and trialling something akin to a strawberry croquembouche... We'll see how that goes.<br /> Have you thought about something like a cob loaf dip with GF bread? <a href="http://homecooking.about.com/od/dipandspreadrecipes/r/blapp106.htm" rel="nofollow">http://homecooking.about.com/od/dipandspreadrecipes/r/blapp106.htm</a><br /> Little shooters of soup can be nice too, or single serve Mac and cheeses.<br /> Far too hot here for any of that at the moment here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-food#post-457677 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 00:31:48 +0000 Freckles 457677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this a kid's party?

I also serve it with raincoast crisps!)</p> <p>I also do meatball sliders (<a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/02/meatball-sliders/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/02/meatball-sliders/</a>), and rice with thai chicken curry in mini chinese takeout containers. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-food#post-457643 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:55:40 +0000 brownie 457643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BBQ meatballs and little weenies, this black bean corn and cilantro dip for chips, cheesey dip for chips, we made a pumpkin dip from happy healthy mama with fruit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-food#post-457642 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:55:38 +0000 runsyellowlites 457642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did veggie cups like that for a bridal shower I just helped host!
